Planning and Construction

Sometimes planning and construction are included under the property law umbrella, they shouldn’t be.The successful management of planning and construction matters demands a very specific set of skills and experience.

When it comes to planning and construction our lawyers have acted for a long list of public authorities, developers and private clients across a wide range of projects and their appearances before the Royal Court in connection with some of Jersey’s largest developments are well documented.
